*AUTHOR's POV*
Everyone's face went to shock as Draze stamps the door of morgue. Hurt! Hurt in their hearts knowing that he's dead.
Draze keeps blaming her self. If she have just listen to him, none of this would happen. If she have just not pushed him hard, none of this would happen. No one would have died.
"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry!" Draze still stamping the door while her tears are like fountain, flowing no end.
John Carl is staring at his best friend lying under a white sheet. 'Why? It's too early, Bro. Get up under that sheet. Draze is here, man. You don't want to see her cry, aren't you?'
Draze stops stamping the door. She's staring at the dead body of Parkes. Hallie Mae can't do anything. She's sitting on the lobby while heads leaning down. 'If I have just listen to John Carl, none of this would happen. I'm sorry Parkes, Draze , John Carl. This is all my fault. You're right. My mother's word are more important.' She said behind her mind.
Days passed, and Parkes already buried. Hallie is ready to get the key.
"I'm ready, Hallie," said John Carl and remove his shirt. "Always remember me. Always remember my name and my heart."
With teary eyes, Hallie nodded. "There's a possibility that you can't endure the pain, John Carl. Keep your self tough please. I want you to look at me at the night sky."
No words came out from their mouths. Hallie touches his birthmark and a blinding light covered his condo.
He can feel the pain, the heat, the feeling that she'll leave her now. He tried to open his eyes, only to see Hallie Mae that is now already eaten by a white light.
"I-i can't breathe~"
"Always look up at night," John Carl still shouting in pain. "Look for a yellow paper that if you read the first word, the paper turn into a small replica of Andromeda Galaxy with words on it."
"No! S-stay please!"
"Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!" John Carl shouted as the key removed from his body. Fire! Fire in his body! Hallie disappeared as John Carl's body fell onto the floor. He endured the pain. He didn't die.

"Welcome home, daughter!" Andromeda/Hallie Mae, with a sad face, just smiled at her parents and went to her room. She's thinking of him the whole time. She can't believe she've done the hardest part.
"We only have 10 days before the comet hit the Earth." Andromeda, with a wide gap on lips look at her mother.
"We'll find the Lost Star tomorrow, mom. Let me take a rest," Cassiopeia nodded and leave.

Cassiopeia enters the Nebulae Portal together with the Sky keeper, Caroline. Only the two can enter the Nebulae Portal, because of their power that can only suit there.
"Place the Cassiopeia Key on the slot, Queen Cassiopeia."
She was about to place the Key but in further a do...a hand suddenly appeared and grab the key from her hand. It's Medusa—Caroline's enemy for a long long time.
"Medusa!" Caroline spread her arms to cover Cassiopeia, "How did you get here!"
"Why?" Medusa stepped closer to them while teasingly showing the key to them. "Did I made you shock?"
Cassiopeia is silently making a small centipede named, Perseus. Perseus is her little pawn that secretly fights for them.
"Caroline, Caroline, Caroline...you don't even know I can manipulate your power."
Caroline's face went to sour while looking intently at Medusa. She really knows how to make her burst her anger in no time. Cassiopeia is innocently looking at the two fighting in front of her. Power to Power...Combat to Combat.
Medusa didn't notice a centipede crawling onto her neck. If Caroline's calculation is right, Cassiopeia made Perseus to kill Medusa for her to grab the key.
Perseus didn't waste any time.
He extremely bite Medusa in her neck. Just like a snake, every liquid part in his body is poisonous that even the rarest and the most powerful in their dimension can't get through it.
Medusa starts to fade. Every single part of her body is fading little by little until the key fell. Luckily, Caroline made it fast just to catch it.

Cassiopeia slowly place the key to open the Nebular Diary. The diary opened with a white light in it.
"Lacres entuver, piendo?" Cassiopeia's brows creased. "Caroline? What's the meaning of this?"
"Lost star from the Lost Love," Caroline said that make her more conscious. "Let's think deeper..."
A defying silence covered the place until Cassiopeia speaks in gladness.
"The key it self is the Lost Star!" Caroline didn't show any emotion. "Let me just clear things...you see, only Andromeda can remove the key from John Carl's body. I can see the sparkle in her eyes when she's still on Earth."
"And?" Caroline is slowly getting her point.
"The key is from John Carl's body. Andromeda's lost love is John Carl. Therefore, The Lost Star is the key and the key is from John Carl's body." Full of excitement, Cassiopeia smile and look at Caroline.
The Nebular Diary glows and the key popped out from it. It's getting bigger and bigger and bigger until it swallow all the space hitting the fast coming comet that will hit the Earth 9 days from now.
...
Sitting on the rooftop, John Carl, Draze and his mother are looking at the night skt. A very bright light shutter the sky making a different colors. A tear drops from his eyes while staring at it.
"She mase it. We're all safe. The Earth is saved." John Carl noticed a yellow paper fell down beside him. He was about to throw it away when he remembered Hallie's words.
>"Look for a yellow paper that if you read the first word, the paper turn into a small replica of Andromeda Galaxy with words on it."
He hold it while staring up high "Andromeda~"
Andromeda's tears fell while staring him from up high.
"We made it."
